  1. Re:Are companies allergic to numbers greater than on What To Expect From Sony's Next-Gen PlayStation (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    With Windows 10, Windows became a service. It is currently a "buy once and use forever" service application. What we dread is the day when that switches and they make us start paying a subscription fee to get updates.

  2. Re:Pirate Bay is free. on YouTube TV Costs $50 Per Month After Another Price Hike (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    when you consider you need to own a television, rent an apartment, pay for electricity, etc.

    LMAO what the shit kind of argument is this.

  3. Cruel and unusual on More Jails Replace In-Person Visits With Awful Video Chat Products · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Cruel and unusual punishment is carried out in American jails on a daily basis. I wish prison reform was a bigger point of focus for people.

  4. Re: Netflix 4K on Microsoft Launches First Chromium Edge Builds (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Netflix app was... problematic... 4K content made it buggy. Oddly enough I think it's just a frontend to IE or Edge though. Maybe it's better now. I could always give it a shot.

  5. Netflix 4K on Microsoft Launches First Chromium Edge Builds (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I use Edge to play Netflix 4K videos. I wonder if this change breaks that capability.

  6. Re:I've read the individual stories on Bay Area Tech Firms Laying Off 1,200 Workers By Memorial Day (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Hey bud. Nuke your sig.

  7. "Where's your tattoo? Why come you don't have a tattoo?"

  8. Businesses wih critical workloads that can’t be rebooted all he time for “updates”

    Well, I hope businesses can find competent techs that know how to disable automatic updating/rebooting.

  9. Re:Translates to english? on Why 'ji32k7au4a83' is a Remarkably Common Password (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The reason it's showing up fairly often in a data breach repository is because "ji32k7au4a83" translates to English as "my password."

    How exactly does "ji32k7au4a83" translates to english? Is it base64-encoded or something?

    Try reading an article for once in your life you miserable piece of shit.

  10. Re:Not surprised on YouTube Will Disable Comments on Nearly All Videos With Kids (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    start phasing out comments in general. While they increase "engagement", they're so incredibly useless that I definitely wouldn't miss them

    Really? Never? You've never seen useful information relevant to a video in the comments, or had an enlightening conversation in comments? Maybe the problem is you're only watching trash videos and nothing educational or intellectual. Your idea is preposterous.

  11. Re:So When Humanity Crashes... on Thirty-Million-Page Backup of Humanity Headed To Moon Aboard Israeli Lander (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Someone's gotta be there to tell them to turn it off and turn it back on again.

  12. Re:Next gen wait then I suppose. on NVIDIA Turing-Based GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Launched At $279 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, there's a couple of advantages to the 1660ti over the 1070 (which I also have). One is better framerates at resolutions higher than 1080p (and I'm at 1440), and then there's lower power consumption. Part of me wants to upgrade for those two facts alone. Selling my 1070 and getting one of these would make the 1660ti only come out to about $80, so it's worth considering.

  13. Pack it up and go home, everybody else. Google is here to dominate yet another market.

  14. Not even virtue signalling but on How Streaming Music Could Be Harming the Planet (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now I can claim moral superiority because I'm an mp3 downloader instead of a streamer. Nice.

  15. Weed? Doesn't weed do this?

  16. Re:Wow, well I'm shocked! on Finland Basic Income Trial Left People 'Happier But Jobless' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Is there anything dumber in this world (that are still recognisable human) than socialists?

    I would say capitalists, but they are not still recognisable as humans. Darn.

  17. Re:Where now? on Firefox 69 Will Disable Adobe Flash Plugin by Default (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Use oldversion.com, put an alternate browser install to run along next to your main one.

  18. Now let's find a sane judge who will stand with the constitution and declare Civil Asset Forfeiture to be unconstitutional as it most certainly is.

  19. If they won't license it to you, just steal it and then settle out of court.

  20. It's almost like you haven't seen what a new 1080ti or rtx2800 costs right now

  21. Glad I don't work at teleNetwork anymore on Users Report of Nationwide CenturyLink Internet Outage (ktvb.com) · · Score: 1

    I sure don't miss those days.

  22. Second largest economy.

  23. Happy I have Spectrum right now. on Your 4K Netflix Streaming Is On a Collision Course With Your ISP's Data Caps (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Spectrum ain't all that, but at least they've been pretty reliable in my area, charge a flat monthly rate, and don't have a cap :)

  24. Re:Call me when they roll it back on Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Build 18290 With Start Menu Improvements (betanews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    7 was the last functional one.

    So you never learned how to use the Start menu in Win8/Win10. Got it. Works just fine for me, but I learned how to use it to the fullest.

  25. Re:What else are they removing? on Cheaper, Disc-Free Xbox One Coming Next Year, Report Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They're setting a plan in motion that will end physical game purchases entirely and move consumers to 100% downloaded/streamed content.
